Question

8:24=26:X

Help me find the missing term.

Answer 1

Answer: x = 78

Explanation:

It is 78 because if you cross-multiply, you get 624 = 8x. Then if you divide by 8 on both sides, you get x = 78.

Answer 2

x = 78

Explanation:

`(8)/(24) =(26)/(x)`

==> cross multiply

26 x 24 = 8 x "x"

==> simplify

624 = 8x

==> divide both sides by 8

78 = x
